Parsley & herbs can be kept fresh for many weeks in bunch form packaged in PEAKfresh bags that are sealed. Most herbs that have been properly pre-cooled following harvest can be stored successfully in individualPEAKfresh bags that are sealed. Parsley in particular, enjoys equal volumes of oxygen and carbon dioxide (around 10% and thrives in an atmosphere of high humidity.)

Packaging MethodWe recommend that bunches of herbs be packed separately into individual PEAKfresh bags that are sealed. For commercial packs of 10 or more bunches, the bunches should be packed lightly in a PEAKfresh carton liner that is not sealed. Freshly harvested herbs should be washed and then placed on wire racks, or similar racking, in a cool room, preferably overnight to remove surface moisture before packing into PEAKfresh. Herbs for retail sale should be packed in Duo bags.

Storage Temperatures0ºC to 5ºC (32º to 42ºF) and 90-95% humidity.To avoid heat stress, it is important to adequately pre-cool fresh cut herbs before packing into PEAKfresh bags and avoid breaking the cooling chain during storage and or shipping.
